Modelling Further Aspects of the Coal Industry

This volume makes more material on the coal industry available to the modeller, much of which has come from sources and people other than the author. Most significantly, the material has allowed the author to include actual photos and details of the models themselves, something which was absent in the first volume. The illustrations of the models show headframes, associated buildings, locomotives, wagons and much more. The book also includes adverts from suppliers and manufacturers that offer coal-related items. Some collieries with detailed pictorial focus are: Astley Green (West of Manchester) and Snibston (Leicestershire). Pictures of the models themselves include photos of the Wrightscale colliery headframe kit, available in 2mm and 4mm scales; Michael Edge's Coed Cae Colliery, and Herculaneum Dock.
